Step 2
Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook for one minute less than the packet suggest.
Step 3
Put the other except the parmesan and optional extras, into the jug of a hand blender, or a food processor, and blitz until smooth, scraping down the sides once or twice.
Step 4
When the pasta is cooked, drain it but keep half a cup of the pasta cooking water.
Step 5
Return the pasta to the pan and add the blitzed sauce, starting with half and toss everything thoroughly so that it works its way into the crevices of the pasta. Then add the rest and toss again, stirring to warm the sauce. If it looks dry – it shouldn’t – add a tablespoon of pasta water and stir again.
Step 6
Grate over some parmesan and eat with any optional extras you like.
